Any Clue Will Do

The award winning book, Looking for Alaska, by John Green, is truly an eye opening read. The novel starts out with a teenage boy named Miles Halter graduating and getting ready to go to boarding school in Alabama, taking after his father. While there, he experiences the daily struggles and obstacles that teenagers have. He goes through mental, physical, and emotional adventures every single day. He immediately falls in love with his roommate’s best friend named, Alaska Young. Miles is so unbelievably attracted to her smart, witty, and sarcastic personality, but most of all her gorgeous appearance. While he stays at Culver Creek, he creates strong friendships, loses some, and learns to value every single person in his life. It only took one day for him to realize his life had changed forever.

It only took me about two days to finish this book, because I could not get myself to put it down and because of the clarity of every sentence. I was immediately hooked and felt as if I was in the book watching every scene. John Green made it very easy for me to relate to this book due to the similar teenage experiences that I have tolerated in my life. Looking for Alaska was a reflection of real life in the sense that teenagers deal with heartbreak, friendship issues, and problems with school. Miles way of dealing with his tragic occurrences is much like my own life and the majority of teenagers now. Every event that took place in Miles life was so captivating and made me realize that any of what happened could really happen in my life. I completely recommend this book for young adult because of the age that Miles is, and his experiences. I have no doubt that this book won’t grab your attention. You will not regret reading John Green’s Looking for Alaska. Who knows maybe you will have the answer for Miles, and maybe even relate to his touching story, but first you must open up the book!
